Got Veggies? challenge encourages healthy eating

When
you’re busy, it can be easy to forget just how important getting your daily
greens — and oranges, purples and whites — can be for your body. That’s why the UC
Living Well Got Veggies? challenge invites you to make a four-week commitment
to eat at least one cup of veggies each day.

The
Got Veggies? challenge is open to employees at all UC locations, retirees,
spouses and partners, who are enrolled in a UC-sponsored medical plan. You can
join as an individual or, better yet, join or create a team for additional
motivation.

Registration
starts Sept. 17, and the challenge runs Oct. 1-28. If you are eligible to
participate in the wellness incentive program, you’ll earn 2,500 points toward
a $75 Visa® card for completing the challenge. Plus, you can get extra
motivation and tips for how to incorporate vegetables into your everyday meals
by calling 1-855-688-9775 to work with a wellness coach during the challenge. If
you enroll in a wellness coaching program during September, you’ll be entered
to win a Fitbit® Flex™ — a $99 value.
